I am posting an beta build of AutHomation/AutHomationHD version 2.1 for testing. Here is a list of changes:
Difference between AutHomation and AutHomationHD: AutHomation is only for Android 2.3 and should not be used on Android 3.2 or newer. If you have a newer phone or tablet and it has Android 3.2 or newer, please use AutHomationHD. AutHomationHD offers a better experience as it uses the native UI api’s for better integration. AutHomation is being dropped from development due to time and resources.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE RUNNING VERSION 2.1.1.4 OR OLDER, YOU MUST CLEAR THE APP DATA BEFORE USING THE APP. TO MAKE THINGS SIMPLIER, UNINSTALL THE OLD VERSION AND INSTALL THE NEW APP.
Update 2013/05/15 Version 3.0.3.0:
An official version of AutHomationHD has been released to the play store. If you are not running the current beta and running anything 2.X or older, it is advisable to remove the older version before installing the new official version in the play store.
Update 2013/04/29 Version 3.0.1.1:
AutHomationHD:
- Minor release to address bugs reported via the crash reporting tool and testing.
Update 2013/04/22 Version 3.0.1.0:

Update 2013/04/04 Version 2.1.1.7:
AutHomationHD:

Update 2013/02/26 Version 2.1.1.6:
AutHomationHD:

Update 2013/02/15 Version 2.1.1.5:
AutHomationHD:
- Major rewrite for data backend
I rewrite how the app retrieves the data from Vera. I have moved away from lu_sdata and am now using user_data2.
This is on par with what most of the other 3rd party apps use. With this change me supporting more third party
apps have become much more easier as I do not have to modify the app for new datasets as they are already there.
I just have to incorporate the UI side of the controls (50% less work). With this new change, the app will require a
reinstall as the database has completely changed. This may also introduce new bugs or even eliminate others. - More bug fixes
- Added quick access to selecting a vera unit (the key icon on the right side of the Manage Vera menu item located on the right hand panel.
- When selecting Auto Connection Switching, it will now prompt the user to enter any details it might be missing to make the option work.
